A little update: Yesterday uninstalled python (apt-get remove python) which turned out to remove tons of other stuff as well. After reboot, I now invariably get the "ubuntu running in low graphics mode" error. But when I do a login in via console, and then run startx, my desktop is perfecly normal and my "apperance settings" bug is gone! I even get the hibernate/suspend option back when i logout which was also missing before.
So in effect, it seems I have traded one problem for another, but this is certainly much better. It's only a minor nuisance to do the console login + startx myself. Currently I'm manually reinstalling packages (using "apt-cache rdepends python") so hopefully I will encounter the package that is the cause of these problems. -- Appearance settings do not work in Xubuntu 10.10 RC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/652731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
